This sequel to "I Hunt Killers" threads in nicely to a continuing story about a young man burdened by his father's serial killings. To choose to help apprehend other killers, to believe that he and he alone is uniquely equipped to hunt them, is borne out in the story. It was hard to put this one down. I will comment that the story could do without Jazz's hemophiliac friend. He is one too many quirky character who does not add anything to the story. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

In this book, Jazz’s father, Billy, has escaped from prison. But the killings in New York City (Jazz lives in a small town elsewhere) started before that escape. So imagine Jazz’s surprise when a NYC detective finds Jazz, hoping for some help getting into Billy’s head in order to help solve these more recent murders in NYC. Meanwhile, Jazz’s girlfriend, Connie, insists on coming to NYC, as well. And Jazz’s best friend, Howie is staying home to help watch out for Jazz’s (crazy) grandmother, along with Jazz’s aunt (who hasn’t been “home” in years).
This was really good, but I still have a hard time believing so many police officers/detectives (this was similar in the first book) want to rely on a teenager for help solving the crimes. Setting that aside, though, the premise of the murders was really clever, I thought: the “game”. Unfortunately, the book ended on a bit of a cliffhanger for each of our teenage characters. I believe there is one more book to the series, in addition to a few prequels that I haven’t yet read. ( )
